“…It is along these lines that feminist authors, such as Rago (2013) and Butler (2015), deal with practices of the self, such as personal accounts and reports of feminist women as political possibilities for social transformation. In contrast to the so‐called confessional narratives, such as the “classic male autobiographies, which aim to clear the past and soothe the soul,” as well as the narcissism of modernity that “reiterates normalizing discourses and ties individuals to their own identity,” for Rago (2015, p. 106), the purpose of narrating one's history as a practice of the self is to “break the female isolation in the experience of pain and, therefore, stress the dimension of the testimony, pointing to the denunciation of the violence”.…”

This study intends to evidence narratives of the political experience of the Casa Tina Martins Women's Referral Center, to understand how the women of the group constitute and organize themselves against gender violence. This was done from the articulation between the esthetics of existence proposed by Foucault (2014) and the work of feminist authors such as Margareth Rago (2013) and others, in which the problematization of experiences that allow the subject to rethink the world can be seen as a way of understanding social oppression without reducing the subject to the role of inert victim, but showing how they are always invested by power in their ways of existing and resisting. Initially, an immersion in the Center was carried out from the perspective of Feminist Participatory Action Research (Ponic et al., 2010). Then, reports were collected to build narratives of participants. The field research showed that the participation and engagement in a social movement stem from the individual process of struggle with the various forms of subjection and violence in the life trajectory of each woman. Moreover, the Center could be understood as a core of teachings to all types of organizations since it is a remarkable experience that overlaps its political goal with its feminist ways of organizing as a “meta‐organizational” phenomenon. Finally, it was possible to consider Casa Tina Martins as an enabling space to question gender‐based violence and promote personal narratives by feminist women as political possibilities of resistance and social change.

Parrhesia and female leadership: radical women in Brazilian geography against dictatorship and academic conservatism

This paper addresses the professional trajectories of women in geography who were or are based at the University of São Paulo (USP) and who belong to generations which faced the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985). Theoretically inspired by the ancient Greek notion of parrhesia in the Foucauldian sense of resistance and 'fearless speech', this paper extends recent literature on feminist historical geographies and histories of radical geography, and responds to pressing needs for challenging Anglo-American hegemonies in these fields. To this end, I draw upon exceptional sources, such as autobiographical archival materials and three interviews with 'privileged witnesses', to make internationally known outstanding cases of female leadership that disrupt narratives on 'big men' which have hitherto hidden these stories. Although most of these women do not display explicitly a feminist label, their trajectories show how feminist practices were put in place, sometimes implicitly, by female scholars mostly coming from working-class and migrant backgrounds. These cases from the Global South further expose the feminist and radical principle that emancipation should not be conceded from above but taken from below.

Since World War II, as of the Declaration of Human Rights, several social movements have undergone restructuring, encompassing multiple agendas that have solidified as catalysts for broad social and political changes. The social movements also played an important role in defining the current global agendas, such as the 2030 Agenda. To highlight the protagonism of social movements in the current Sustainability Agenda, this research presents progressist movements that emerged from the late 1940s, establishing a correlation with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. A narrative literature review was conducted, integrating definitions, concepts, and guidelines of the social movements. The results demonstrate the considerable role of social movements in reshaping the civilizational process that led to significant societal advancements across various fronts, including gender relations, racial, labor, and environmental issues.
